UFOs and Government Documents

In honor of Halloween, take a look at some of Gleeson’s more unusual, “spooky” government documents.

In addition to the pamphlet pictured here, in which the United States Air Force put together Aids to Identification of Flying Objects, Gleeson Government Documents Print Collection also has materials on the Roswell Report. This document concerns a series of mysterious incidents in Roswell New Mexico in the Summer of 1947. Several people reported sighting unidentified flying objects and the alleged debris of extra-terrestrial beings. After the military claimed the debris was from a high-altitude surveillance balloon from a top-secret project and closed the case with its report, many people claimed it was just a government cover-up. What do you think? Take a closer look at the documents for more details!
